**(24) Can you remove the notification from the status bar?**
Android can kill background services at any time.
This can only be prevented by turning a background service into a foreground service.
Android requires an ongoing notification in the status bar for all foreground services
to make you aware of potential battery ussage.
So, the notification cannot be removed without causing instability.
However, the notification is being marked as low priority,
which should result in moving it to the bottom of the list
and should remove the icon from the status bar in most cases.
